General Motors is recalling 2009 and 2010 Cadillac CTS vehicles to fix a suspension-related problem. The recall affects more than 44,000 vehicles in the U.S. alone. (Associated Press)General Motors said Wednesday it is recalling more than 50,000 Cadillac CTS vehicles worldwide to fix a loose joint that could cause a rear wheel to become unstable, making it hard for drivers to steer.

GM said the recall affects more than 44,000 CTS vehicles in the United States from the 2009 and 2010 model years. The remaining vehicles were sold in China and around the globe.

There was no word on whether Canadian vehicles were impacted.

The company said there have been no injuries or fatalities related to the recall.

The auto company said nuts in the rear suspension could become loose, causing a sudden change in the vehicle's handling or making the driver lose control of the vehicle.

Owners can contact Cadillac for more information.
